Hi Room 22. Wow! What fabulous work you have been doing. I really enjoyed watching your experiment Estella and Nivea. The planning you have done with regard to Wormalicious looks very organised and there is so much planned- exciting, I hope you are proud of what you have achieved so far! The poor worm farm has broken back legs and I am planning to remove the contents of it soon so Mr Dawdon can make a new frame. I will let you know when this is happening and maybe some of the eco warriors in your room would like to help build this? Let me know. keep up the great work every one!

Week 10
Hello Everyone,
We did it! We sold some worm juice at the carnival. After researching prices of commercial traders of Worm Juice, we put the following prices on our Worm Juice.
Check out the feedback from the stallholders - we might have to have a class discussion about our pricing schedule to make our product more saleable. Also, it was strongly suggested to us to provide more smaller bottles for sale as some people just want enough for their patio plants. Being able to market our product at the Carnival was an excellent way to gauge the market to see what people are really wanting out there.
Thanks for taking an interest in our Wormalicious Juice Recyclers journey.
